    Best watch in the 1000$ range?

    Yup. If we all had any sense we would wear $15 digital Casio's that are off by seconds per month, have phillps head screw down backs for easy battery replacement and have a button for on demand illumination. But where's the fun in that?

    Best watch in the 1000$ range?

    Usually $330ish in jewelry stores with the normal 25-30% discount. It's $249 at Jomashop if you're okay with a grey market watch. An automatic is a self winding mechanical watch with a power reserve of 40 or so hours unless you step up $$$ wise. If you don't wear it for a few days and it...

    New Weatherby Rifle

    Those are always eye catching rifles. I actually prefer the foreign made ones. Almost never a boring piece of wood, nice lines, comfortable, and most importantly, skip line checkering. They never should have gotten rid of that. But I wouldn't throw a new Mk V Deluxe out of bed for eating...

    One of Kaiser Wilhelm rifles for sale

    That gun has been for sale for years at this point and for that price. They may need to decide to be a bit more realistic. Maybe give it to RIA to get rid of.

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    Half wirehair fox terrier, half jack russell terrier. 14 and still obnoxious. Between licking his chops he was barking at me to let him outside.

    Birthday bb guns

    I've been debating a 2100. I sighted in the 880's beforehand and shot a little with them on saturday. I forgot how much fun shooting an air rifle was and was impressed with the accuracy of those rifled barrels. I wish they still made the 2200.

    Birthday bb guns

    We're celebrating the youngest nephews b-day today. The older brothers is a month later but they're both getting their presents at the same time. Of course I had to get the wood grain bb gun. They're each getting a full kit.

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    I'm a Navitimer, Chronomat, 765 fan. Vintage if I have the option. But past and present they have put out some, IMO, horrible watches.

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    Some argue that Orient has surpassed Seiko in quality. I have no idea if that's true or not, but they seem to be of similar quality. Citizen seem to be great watches but where they lack IMO is their styling. They have some very well done watches, maybe 25-30%. The rest are on the verge of...

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    Will do. I'm not convinced I'll like them long term but I got them cheaper off of ebay so hopefully won't lose much if I sell them. I'm going to try a couple nato's on them as well. With 7.25" wrists the 44 is doable depending on lug design and case thickness.

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    The Citizen Tsuyosa is a great alternative to the Rolex Oyster Perpetual. I have a couple 44mm Citizen Eco's on the way. Tried on one of them in a store. Going to see if I like the bigger watches.

    Client killed Kafue National Park, Zambia

    Do you have access to some video that we all don't or do you have some sort of super power to see what wasn't in the video? You have no clue until further evidence is presented of any stupidity or wrong doing on the drivers or other professional in the vehicles' part. The elephant was pursuing...

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    I've been thinking about that watch lately but with the white dial. They picked a great movement for it. Bulova has been hitting on all cylinders lately.

    How much are you looking to spend? What style? Something with some color, dark, earth tones? Prefer Japan, Swiss or other European movement? Integrated bracelet or regular lugs?

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    Most watch enthusiasts consider 5ATM labeled watches to be limited to basic hand washing type water activities. Maybe a quick dunk in the water followed by a drying off on your shirt if you were fishing or something like that. Consider them a slight, but very slight step up from a vintage watch.

    What camo pattern

    On a serious note, I learned at a young age during gun deer season in the midwest that staying still and quiet is the most important thing. If Carharts and a solid orange vest and face mask can fool heavily pressured mid west whitetails and coyotes, they can fool anything anywhere. Like one...

    Alec Baldwin Movie Set Accident

    They will surely try to put all of the blame on her. Problem as I see it is it was his set. Just days before he shot her, there were other discharges of firearms when guns were supposedly cold and people actually walked off the production. If he didn't do anything to try to correct the...

    Opinions wanted on a backstop for home rifle range

    At my local private shooting range they just have steep dirt backstops with trees and grass. Every once in a while you'll see small tree limbs and brush fall from above after a shot indicating ricochet's. If I were to build anything it would be more of a large bullet trap.

    .270 for plains game? Should I be scrapping it?

    I had great success with 180 AB's out of my 30-06. I don't understand why I need or would want 100% weight retention on PG/deer so an A-Frame wouldn't be my first choice. I like my bullet doing a little extra damage as it sheds some weight on the way through. AB's shed roughly 1/3 of their...

    Africa prices?

    I booked my management hunt in Namibia in 2021 thinking that the game would be in great abundace. I of course had heard about the drought but didn't know how bad it was. Boy was I shocked. Oryx herds of 50-100 animals had been reduced to 10-20 at most and the same for other species. Where...

    "Who Builds a Magnificent 500 Jeffery"?

    Those heavy profile barrels seem like the perfect answer to a properly weighted, balanced and handy big bore rifle. It certainly makes a rifle stand out from the rest looks wise as well. A custom fitted, 19" or 20" 458 wm sounds nice.

    Range days sometimes go poorly...as in Ka Boom!

    When I have the room for a larger dedicated reloading bench EVERYTHING will be in drawers, machinists/printers cabinet style, and the only things out on the bench will be the components in use for that load. If I start reloading pistol, it will get its own bench. I've read wayyyy too many of...

    1 shot kills

    What were the angles in the poor shot placements you are referring to? You ask whether it's a lack of shooting ability or lack of experience shooting off sticks? I would ask if it's the inability to properly visualize the vitals on an animal that isn't standing perfectly broadside...

    Favorite Hunt?

    I shouldn't have said gutted because nothing was actually gutted in the field. They cut up the animals in whatever fashion back at the house. I did get looked at like I had two heads by one of the staff while helping unload an oryx. Anyways I'll let the thread get back on track.
